Also, even though it sounds nice, never purchase one that flips, folds, lowers, raises, or any other moving feature. This is a major flaw when it comes to bouncing down the road. I have owned 3 good quality racks and they all moved a little. I’m talking Thales, Yakima, and Saris. FINALLY, I found the perfect rack at a very inexpensive price. We carry two heavy mountain bikes, and I promise, they don’t move not one bit. And no bungy cords. I will try and find the make and model shortly. And if that is not enough, as I am so OCD about not moving, I also purchased a anti rattle hitch stabilizer for $12.00. I’ll go look at the rack shortly. This setup is amazing.... be right back.

Ok, not having luck with pasting a link on my iPad. The rack does fold up, but you can tighten it down so it doesn’t. It comes with a knocking pin bolt. Rust proof and lifetime warranty. The length of the hitch is perfect for the Montana receiver. Our handlebars are several inches away from the FW. I would put this one up against any manufacturer. I promise, solid as a rock. Other relatives and their motor homes were behind us for 1200 miles, and they all confirmed no movement.
